Grant Semantic Modeler Permissions Assignments

Use the grantPermissionSetsToBIRole script to grant the permission sets required to access Semantic Modeler.

You'll need to grant these permissions when:

  • Upgrade - You upgraded from Oracle BI EE to Oracle Analytics Server or from a previous version of Oracle Analytics Server.

    When you upgrade, the BI Data Model Author application role isn't automatically assigned the permissions required for users to manage and deploy semantic models from Semantic Modeler.

  • Snapshot - You installed Oracle Analytics Server 2024 or later and then you import a snapshot from an earlier version of Oracle Analytics Server. See Restore from a Snapshot.

    Oracle Analytics Server restores the security policy from the snapshot. When you import a snapshot containing application roles and permission set grants different from the Oracle Analytics Server clean slate installation, Oracle Analytics Server restores the security policy from the snapshot. Because Semantic Modeler permissions are new for Oracle Analytics Server 2024, the snapshot from an earlier version won't contain the permissions required to access Semantic Modeler, so you'll need to grant them.

To grant the required permissions, use the grantPermissionSetsToBIRole script to assign the BI Data Model Author application role the semanticmodeler.author and obis.administrator permissions sets.

For example:
[DOMAIN_HOME]/bitools/bin/grantPermissionSetsToBIRole.sh|.cmd -r BIDataModelAuthor -p semanticmodeler.author

Note:

Assigning the semanticmodeler.author permission set allows users to bypass the Oracle BI Server security filters.
